with today's headlines of the week this is the week. it's ready to significantly expand. the death toll has risen to at least fifty three palestinians including fifteen children just wednesday. what we have seen is a fresh the rise of is drives by the israeli air force this morning over gaza city and we know of at least two different incidents where different refugee camps were targeted as you well know these camps are from of women and children which means that it's inevitable that the casualty count among civilians and media creases police try can see it's the media of the ruling in gaza city with some sixty

journalists have been injured now we are seeing reports of the israeli army has taken control of her mass radio and is using it to tunis for news it is to the people of gaza but certainly the i.d.f. is falling far short of that statement that it is only targeting assassinations and very much trying not to get civilians because we do see the civilian count continue to increase now the arab league hold an emergency unsettled day in cairo and really the arab league secretary general never been out to be saying that israel is committing crimes and needed to be held responsible he also court on one arab states to leave this it and cancel any kind of peace treaties that they have with the jewish state the number of countries that have come forward in trying to mediate between the two sides we have heard from need education president mohamed morsi that he believes that a ceasefire could be on the cards to support for the proposal that would seek to keep egypt the united states and russia broker spontaneous peace plans but we're not hearing the same kind of commitment from hindsight

a ground both the israelis as well as a must say that they're only paid to lay down arms if the other side does it is one of the not human assurances from either side that this will happen so he will be hearing from the masses that it will stop firing rockets on israel if the jewish state that's the blockade that he has placed on gaza for several years now and stops with these assassinations at his weekly cabinet meeting on sunday morning the israeli prime minister netanyahu did say that he was ready to significantly expand those were his words the israeli operation in gaza in tel aviv immediately following this they were sirens held in there were at least two rockets that were intercepted by. by the iron dome missile defense system this has intelligent alarming warning bells particularly to people in for the meet soon to and towards the north of the country and mass and other militants are firing now in long range between you made missiles and i think that this kind of meeting this kind of fear and panic that is not infiltrating the population of israel much to do that then

just the south have been rained down on is starting to create an anxiety an oppression on the leadership of israel to launch some kind of ground offensive there was a barrage of rockets and it didn't hit the south until this warning you know that one can see has been since the engine between the rockets are still falling far short of the target there has the movement among the israel gaza border the israeli tanks and armored personnel vehicles this does raise the question of whether or not a ground operation is imminent the roads around gaza have been sealed and the idea of has confirmed that it is attacking from the sea the last strikes classrooms so you certainly had and intensified israeli operation against gaza. and for a cost of update on the situation inside gaza we are staying in contact with activist and filmmaker harry fear carty working there he says it's innocent civilians who suffer from the israeli onslaught said to be aimed only at military targets. israel boasts that it has capability so advanced that it can target with

pinpoints what we're seeing is dead children and dead pregnant women israel has its mission it has its objective it's got the people that it wants to kill but the thing is it doesn't care about collateral damage it has the same policy if you like as the united states with regard to collateral damage that it's happy to injure dozens of palestinian men women and children as long as it can kill one person who might have helped fire a rocket into israel that is the psychology of palestinians all around the gaza strip some level terrorized by this state terrorism this is a largely defenseless third world population most of the population under the age of eighteen most of the population are reliant on food aid and they're being bombed with drones and f. sixteen by. and by sea over these last few days. where you can also keep an eye on what's happening in gaza on our website there

we've got a timeline featuring constant updates on the latest including it would have posts from artie's paula who was following developments in and around us. also there right now at our to dot com of the ongoing bombing of the strip sparked massive protests across the world is world no exception but up more on the web site. my colleague bill dodd has talked to the israeli defense ministry spokesman josh who gave no clear explanation as to why its civilians are being killed in what he called highly precise bombings. but when hamas are hiding rockets beneath mosques and hiding rockets and missiles within school yards and firing rockets actually next to the very hotel where most of the foreign correspondents are staying you just have to look at all the reports coming out across the world today unfortunately it's a very very difficult predicament and that's why the israeli government uses the most precise munitions is why the israeli army sends flies out to the population

even before we conduct these precision strikes they want to minimize civilian what those precise munitions are doing to the people of gaza we want to speak to several governesses civilians who are suffering in this bombing campaign of the moment here's what they had to say let's have a listen but then the civilian population here is. in every house there are about twenty people until quarter to six everyone was asleep after daniel asked to begin shaking this entire area about sixteen killings were bombing innocent harmless people many were injured my family had four injured we were listening to the news to find out what's going on in gaza. yesterday we slept for a while because we wanted to respond but we woke up and rubbed in their brothers you think god although we're alive but what should we do now. just walls are destroyed the children under the rubble as they were doing. and we were all sleeping parents and me with my sisters in a sixteen missile hits our house we were taken to hospital thank god you're alive

but that's how it was going on so what do you say to these people in gaza. well first of all i'd like to point out that actually last night and every night but in particular last night even in the middle of the mission we had air force jets that were flying over and they had a precise target ready to be hit and the hamas organization or other organizations in the region board civilians to the location and we diverted the attack we are doing our utmost to protect civilians on both sides while hamas is going out of its way to not only put their own civilians in harm but attack our civilians on a day to day basis and here are two we're now hearing that the hamas prime minister ismail haniya has gone into hiding after the israeli air force bombed his gaza headquarters on saturday i will keep updating you on the developing situation in gaza and israel if you can please do stay with us.

now as the battle rages on in gaza israel has been fighting on another front i.d.f. shells fell in neighboring syria in response to gunfire that hit an army vehicle in the disputed golan heights and the area has seen artillery fire from both sides in recent weeks and syria claims its shells caused no injuries meanwhile the syrian opposition forces are looking to alst president assad claim they've come to the military airport near the iraqi border idolizes gaining more western support and has installed an envoy in france paris and the u.k. will discuss lifting the e.u. arms embargo on monday so they can supply weapons to recommend to the rebels journalist neil clark says that western nations are using the libya blueprint to gain a foothold in syria though the long term goal is war against iran. what we do is we

get together some opposition puppets if you like not their heads together call them the government of libya and now syria and then we work to end the arms embargoes and very soon we'll be hearing talk i expect no fly zones this is all part of a plan to topple assad actually the western powers actually glaring it's ok for us to arm the rebels in syria but for anybody else to arm the syrians it's not allowed so it's absolutely appalling the policy we have the constitutional boat back in eighty seven percent syrians voted for it we had elections in may you know there is a every possibility of a change in syria through the ballot box but the west don't want that because they know the president said he's too popular the baath party has probably majority support within syria the last one is the people's will in syria to prevail they want to impose by force a puppet government. and you know what would happen and leave your mark to it saudis topple we have lost in syria more chaos we have more death and destruction

but the west doesn't really care about that he doesn't care what's happening in libya at the moment all he cares about is a new government in damascus which will then probably tie the entire economy the links with iran and hezbollah and allow the you know the move against iraq to take place because this is all about paving the way toward if there are. the general's dramatic falls from grace and racy scandals all three becoming an alarming trend in washington d.c. that could be the petraeus case than just russian as one former intelligence officer tells us shortly i've got the details after a quick break. things are just getting too expensive in london many families just can't afford to live in the city anymore so because of upcoming welfare cuts the government is buying or

rented property to relocate people outside of the city the maximum housing allowance for welfare will go down to four hundred pounds a month which is peanuts compared to the one thousand two hundred fifty pounds need to pay for the average three room apartment expelling the poor from london seems a bit fishy to me so instead of say regulating prices or cock forbid using the money from the welfare cuts to create jobs so people can earn a living for themselves rather than rely on handouts london has decided to make itself some official get to. what is to call a place where everyone from a certain economic classes forcibly shove to although this may sound like some sort of help from the government it seems to me like a means to get rid of the poor rather than trying to make the poor less poor but that's just my opinion. mission. critic ations free storage free range and

a second time they can you use the cream to speak the old regime. generals who sort of move through the revolving door with that image it was actually the intelligence one of the points it didn't seem to get much coverage of the trial and that is the fact that he has been very much under review for me pushing forward the idea that there should be some sort of military action against iran so they make. some sort of maneuvering behind the scene by scene intelligence officers to try and get rid of someone. who is peddling a lie. and which undermines their national. into the arty world of there we go with a massive fire in a. town has killed eleven and injured many more five women and four children are among the dead well over five hundred homes have been destroyed in a densely populated area near the capital but the cause of the blaze is being investigated officials believe a cigarette or more scioto coil could be to blame. tens of thousand people have

language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls by imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. there are special instruments that accompany the singing guinea says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed the horse was revived as an instrument that was it of so pitiful is because of the spirit of the horse came to his dream and said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings. and to
